Language IDs
Windows Installer uses language IDs to determine whether the destination computer
supports the language that is used for the installation dialogs. Example: If you create an
installation with the language ID for Greek, that installation only runs on a computer
with Greek fonts.
Language IDs and Locale Codes for Common Languages
For additional language codes, search for “Table of Language Identifiers” and “Language
